Yes, one would assume a forward thinking, competitive accounting firm is developing such software / hardware. Who's going to be more successful in the future? The accounting firm with an army of yes men that do what they're told, or the accounting firm with extremely talented / hardworking / creative individuals working alongside computers doing all the grunt work? I think E&Y recognizes that all the assembly line aspects of their job is rapidly vanishing and what's left is the hard part that has no clear, easy answers.



One could assume. However, from the article it sounded like this programme was directed at hiring front line accountants.

Don't underestimate the power of an army of yes men. A large enough one could sustain many for several lifetimes.
